 Based on month in which contract data is recorded in Service Center files.
General Signup. Producers with eligible lands compete for acceptance based on an environmental benefits index

(EBI) during specified enrollment periods. Producers may submit offers below soil-specific maximum rental rates

to increase EBI ranking. The most recent general signup (Signup 20) was conducted during a 4-week period in

early 2000. About 2.3 million acres were approved. 

Continuous Signup. Producers with eligible lands may enroll certain high priority conservation practices, such as

filterstrips and riparian buffers, at any time during the year without competition. In addition to annual soil rental

payment and cost-share assistance, many practices are eligible for additional annual and up-front financial

incentives.

Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). Under CREP agreements, Federal/State partnerships,

currently in 24 States, implement projects designed to address specific environmental objectives through targeted

CRP enrollments. Signup is held on a continuous basis, general signup practices may be included, and additional

financial incentives are generally provided. 

Farmable Wetland Pilot enrollment began in June 2001 under modified continuous signup provisions.

The accompanying tables are based on contract data developed and entered in CRP data files by USDA Service

Centers as of March 28, 2003, and are based on the physical location of the CRP contracted land. Some

adjustments have been made to correct miscoded data in the contract files. Farmable Wetland Pilot contracts are

not included in the continuous signup tables.
